3 the performance oil that outperforms ROYAL PURPLE S UNIQUE PERFORMANCE ADVANTAGES Advanced Technology Creates Advanced Products Royal Purple s advanced additive technologies, such as Synerlec, enable its products to outperform ordinary synthetic and conventional lubricants. These unique chemistries strengthen the base oil for improved performance. They also create an ionic bond that adheres to metal parts for continuous protection. High Film Strength Improves Performance The film strength of a lubricant is its inherent ability to withstand the effects of load, speed and temperature without breaking down or rupturing, thus enabling the lubricant to maintain an unbroken film between lubricated surfaces under operating conditions. The high film strength of Royal Purple s Synerlec-enhanced lubricants dramatically reduces wear and heat, improves combustion for more power, optimizes fuel economy and reduces emissions. We ve torn down some of our dyno engines that have been seriously abused, but with Royal P(urple) in the pan, the bearings have looked new. Hot Rod Magazine Royal Purple s Synerlec-enhanced lubricants respond to increased pressure with increased oil film strength, where other lubricants have been displaced. The result is less damaging metal-to-metal contact and wear. Take a look at the following photos: bearing Comparison comparison Bearing A new bearing surface appears smooth until magnified 1500X. The bearing is scuffed after using a leading synthetic motor oil.

31 the performance oil that outperforms MOTOR OILS What is the difference between HPS and Royal Purple s API-licensed motor oils? Royal Purple s API-licensed motor oils are formulated specifically to meet current American Petroleum Institute (API) 1, International Lubricant Standardization and Approval Committee (ILSAC), and Association des Constructeurs Européens d Automobiles (ACEA) specifications for new vehicle warranties. Over the last several years, these specifications have become increasingly stringent on certain additives, particularly those commonly used for anti-wear. As such, the new warranty restrictions aren t the best solution for consumers that have modified their vehicles or those simply looking for the greatest performance. HPS is formulated with these consumers in mind and includes a dramatically enhanced anti-wear package. HPS is also the choice for those seeking to maximize horsepower and torque, while reducing wear, heat and fuel consumption. HPS is the most robust engine oil Royal Purple makes for non-racing applications. Will HPS harm my catalytic converters? No. Testing has shown no short or long term adverse affects on catalysts in mechanically sound vehicles. Can I use HPS in my diesel engine? Absolutely. All viscosities of HPS, excluding 5W-20, are formulated for use in gas and/or diesel engines and as such are ideal for those with modified diesels or those simply looking for more performance out of their diesel. Are Royal Purple oils compatible with other motor oils? Yes. Royal Purple lubricants are fully compatible with mineral or synthetic oils. No special procedures are necessary when switching to Royal Purple. Can I use Royal Purple in my brand new car? Yes. Royal Purple currently offers many viscosity grades of APIlicensed motor oils 1. To allow for proper break-in of the engine, Royal Purple recommends waiting until the manufacturer s first scheduled oil change or a minimum of 2,000 miles in new gasoline engines. Allow 8,000 to 10,000 miles before using Royal Purple in diesel engines. How many miles can I go between oil changes in vehicles that use diesel engine oil? Royal Purple suggests adhering to manufacturer s recommended oil change intervals for vehicles under warranty. Vehicles no longer under warranty using Royal Purple 15W40 diesel engine oil can extend oil change intervals up to 15,000 miles (24,140 Km) or one year, whichever occurs first in streetdriven, mechanically-sound vehicles. For guidelines specific to your vehicle, we recommend contacting our technical department at rpautotech@royalpurple.com Does Royal Purple require a special oil filter? While no special oil filter is required, we do recommend upgrading to a high quality oil filter. A high quality filter will prevent contaminants from circulating through the system and causing damage. Royal Purple now offers extended life oil filters. See our oil filter information page for more details or visit our dealer locator to find the dealer nearest you that carries our new filters. How many miles can I go between oil changes in vehicles that use gasoline? Royal Purple suggests adhering to manufacturer s recommended oil change intervals for vehicles under warranty using its APIlicensed SAE motor oils. With Royal Purple HPS, drain intervals may be extended to 12,000 miles (20,000 Km) or one year, whichever occurs first in street-driven, mechanically-sound vehicles. For guidelines specific to your vehicle, we recommend contacting our technical department Where do I find Royal Purple products other than 5W-30 and 10W-30 motor oil? A number of retailers provide us with a listing of the products they regularly stock. You can find this information online on our dealer locator page. Many of retailers will special order products that they don t regularly stock. We also have a number of online e-tailers that provide the full Royal Purple product line. Is Royal Purple synthetic motor oil? Yes. Royal Purple Motor Oils are composed of a proprietary formulation of synthetic base oils and synthetic additives containing iso-paraffinic diluents. FAQ S 1 API (American Petroleum Institute) 29

32 MOTOR OILS FAQ S Can your motor oil be used in older engines? Yes. Mileage and/or age is not a factor when used in a mechanically sound engine. In high-mileage applications, we do recommend running a minimum of two short (3,000 mile/5,000km) intervals before extending the oil drain intervals. This will enable Royal Purple s high solvency to remove existing deposits gradually; such deposits can restrict oil flow, if excessive, as well as reduce the oil service life significantly. Will synthetic oil cause my engine to leak? Properly formulated synthetic oils will generally not cause an engine oil leak. Synthetic oils possess a higher degree of natural solvency, which can clean and remove deposits left by previous oils. The removal of extensive oil deposits can expose marginal or damaged oil seals, which may then leak. If an engine currently has excessive oil consumption (i.e. greater than 1 quart / 1,000 miles) the recommended course of action is to solve the oil consumption problem before switching to a synthetic. Should I use an oil additive with Royal Purple? No. We strongly recommend against using any oil additives as do most automotive manufacturers. Engine oils are formulated with a fine balance of additives (anti-foam, corrosion inhibitors, anti-wear, detergent / dispersants, oxidation inhibitors), and more is not necessarily better. The use of an oil additive could upset the balance resulting in reduced performance. Does Royal Purple maintain its purple color after it s put into service? No. The dye that s used to color the oil dissipates shortly after being put into service. The color will turn brown at some point. Do your motor oils contain zinc/phosphorus? Yes. All Royal Purple engine oils contain the zinc/phosphorus compound zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate (ZDDP), but the maximum amounts are restricted by the current API oil specifications. For stock, non-performance automotive street applications that have flat tappet cams, API SN licensed oils are OK. For better wear protection, Royal Purple HPS and XPR lines of engine oils are formulated with a higher concentration of the zinc and phosphorus anti-wear additive and are suitable for ALL flat tappet and roller tappet camshaft valve trains. For a specific recommendation, contact our tech department at Can your oil be used with flat tappet cams? Yes. For stock, non-performance flat tappet valve trains, Royal Purple SAE oils (API SN and ILSAC GF-5 licensed) are OK. For upgraded performance flat tappet camshafts, and vintage high performance engines, we recommend our HPS or XPR engine oils. For a specific recommendation, contact our tech department at OIL FILTER Are Royal Purple Filters compatible with all conventional and synthetic oils? Yes. All Royal Purple Premium Oil Filters are compatible with both types of motor oils. Do Royal Purple Filters meet all original equipment requirements and vehicle warranty? Royal Purple Filters meet or exceed original equipment manufacturers requirements. All new car warranties remain in effect when using Royal Purple Filters. How does the quality of Royal Purple Filters compare with other manufacturers? Royal Purple Premium Filters use 100% synthetic micro-glass media for superior particle removal with 99% filtration efficiency at 25 microns. What is the recommended change interval? Vehicles under warranty should follow the vehicle manufacturer s recommended change intervals. Vehicles no longer under warranty and in good condition may extend filter changes to 12,000 miles (20,000 Km) if they are driven under normal operating conditions and are using Royal Purple motor oil or other major brand of synthetic motor oil. Vehicles using a diesel oil filter no longer under warranty and in good condition may extend filter changes to 15,000 miles (24,140 Km) if they are driven under normal operating conditions and are using Royal Purple motor oil or other major brand of synthetic motor oil. Vehicles driven in severe conditions should follow the change intervals recommended in their owner s manual; severe conditions are defined as racing or commercial applications, frequent towing or hauling, extremely dusty or dirty conditions, or excessive idling. 30

33 the performance oil that outperforms MOTORcycle OILS Will Royal Purple cause my clutch to slip? No. Royal Purple provides exceptional film strength for excellent metal-to-metal protection, yet it is also safe for use in wetclutch applications. What viscosity is recommend for motorcycles? Follow the manufacturer s recommendations regarding viscosity. Most manufacturers recommend a 10W-40 for 4-cycle, liquid-cooled motorcycles. Air / oil cooled motorcycles typically specify a 20W-50. Check your owner s manual for verification or contact Royal Purple s Automotive Technical Department at for assistance. How many miles can I go between oil changes? Royal Purple suggests adhering to manufacturer s recommended oil change intervals for vehicles under warranty. Vehicles that are no longer under warranty can frequently double or triple the number of miles between oil changes depending on the vehicle, its condition, the way it s used (excessive idling), and the oil filter that is used. For guidelines specific to your vehicle, we recommend contacting our technical department at rpautotech@royalpurple.com. What do you recommend for the primary tank and transmission? Royal Purple Max-Cycle 10W-30, 10W-40 or 20W-50 motor oil may be used in the primary tank. For transmissions, Royal Purple recommends Max-Cycle 20W-50 or. NOTE: DO NOT use Max Gear lubricants in the primary. What product do you recommend for 2-cycle gearboxes? For motorcycle 2-cycle and 4-cycle gearboxes with a separate reservoir, manual transmission fluid is recommended. 2-CYCLE OILS Can I use Royal Purple to pre-mix with alcohol, methanol or nitro-methane? No. Royal Purple s 2-cycle oils are formulated for use in gasoline applications only. What product do you recommend for oil injected engines? HP 2-C is recommended for stock oil-injection applications. What product do you recommend for pre-mix in my 2-cycle engine? HP 2-C may be used in pre-mix applications. RACING OILS Can I use racing oils in my street car? Yes. Royal Purple s racing oils are formulated with detergents / dispersants necessary for daily use. The heavier grades (i.e. XPR 5W-30, XPR 10W-40 and XPR 20W-50) may be used in street driven applications. However, Royal Purple s racing oils do not conform to API and / or ILSAC licensing requirements and should not be used when vehicle warranty is an issue. What is the difference between your SAE motor oils and your racing oils? Royal Purple s motor oils are formulated to provide unparalleled performance and protection and comply with API / ILSAC specifications. Its racing oils vary in viscosity and formulation as compared to the SAE motor oils to provide the greatest performance gains possible without regard to API, SAE and / or ILSAC specifications. Can I run your oils with exotic fuels (alcohol, methanol, etc.)? Yes. Royal Purple s lubricants can be used with exotic fuels. For the best protection, Royal Purple has formulated its XPR 5W-20 and XPR 10W-40 specifically with this in mind. These two oils are formulated to combat fuel emulsification to hold up even better than Royal Purple s other racing oils in alcohol and methanol applications. Does this mean that I should not run your other oils with these fuels? Not necessarily. Royal Purple s other oils will still perform better than conventional racing oils; however, Royal Purple specifically formulated XPR 5W-20 and XPR 10W-40 with these requirements in mind. FAQ S Have a Question? Please contact Royal Purple s Automotive Technical Support Department at or rpautotech@royalpurple.com TECH TIP 31

34 FAQ S How often should I change the oil in a race car? This can vary depending upon application and the level (amount) of contamination (i.e. dirt, fuel, water, etc.). A good rule of thumb is to find out the racer s current type of oil and oil change interval. If the racer is using petroleum oil, you should feel comfortable doubling or tripling their change interval. If the racer is running another synthetic, you can feel comfortable doubling their change interval. How will running your product affect my oil temperature? In most instances, vehicles with properly functioning cooling systems can reduce oil temperatures by 5-20 F by using Royal Purple. Is it true that your oils lose their performance edge after six or eight passes? (Drag Racing) No. Royal Purple has not found any evidence that it shows deterioration in performance after being subjected to race conditions. It is possible that fuel dilution contamination may start to hinder the performance of the engine oil; however, dyno results do not support this claim. MARINE OILS Does Royal Purples 2 cycle oil void a new engine Warranty? Royal Purple HP 2-C meets the performance requirements of any 2-stroke gasoline engine; however it does not carry any OEM oil licenses. How do I determine what viscosity to use, if I do not have an owner s/operator s manual. Most all 4-stroke gasoline marine engines recommend a multiviscosity 30 or multi-viscosity 40 weight engine oil. The most common is the 40 weight with the most common exceptions being Honda and Suzuki outboard motors. What Ratio of oil do I mix with the gas? We recommend starting with the ratio recommended by the equipment manufacturer. Typically this can be leaned-out a little, but it is highly equipment specific. How often should I change my oil in my boat engine using Royal Purple? After the first oil change or two with the RP Marine oil, we recommend up 3 times the hours listed in the owner s/ operator s manual, or 12 months, whichever comes first. How often should I change my lower unit oil using Royal Purple? Assuming no contamination be foreign substances, we recommend up 3 times the hours or time listed in the owner s/ operator s manual, whichever comes first. Transmission and Gear Oils Can I use your Max ATF in my transmission? Check your owner s manual for verification. A complete list of warranty applications can be found on page 20. My vehicle has a limited-slip differential. Do I need to add additional friction modifiers when using your Max Gear? No. All viscosities of Max Gear are formulated with hypoid friction modifiers necessary for use in clutch or cone differentials. No additional additives are necessary. My vehicle s transmission specifies an API GL-4 gear oil. Can I use Max Gear? Yes. Max Gear is completely non-corrosive to soft yellow metals (brass, bronze, copper) so it is synchronizer-safe like a GL-4 gear oil. However, because of Royal Purple s proprietary Synerlec additive technology, Max Gear oils retain the load carrying and shock protection capability of a GL-5 gear oil. 32
